Abstract:
An operation scheme of an atomic spin gyroscope with optical detection is described, in which two noble gas isotopes, 129Xe and 131Xe, are used as carriers of the spin of an atomic nucleus. Based on this scheme, we construct a theoretical model of the dynamics of the spin polarisation of an alkali metal and the magnetisation of a noble gas under conditions of spin-exchange interaction and optical pumping. This model allows one to simulate the pumping and signal readout in the gyroscope scheme. The time dependences of this signal are plotted, the analysis of which shows that the signal has a sophisticated complex structure. Thus, the problem arises of demodulating this signal based on the improvement of demodulation methods and algorithms.
